ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Concerned Patron As Commercial Radio Communications Technician I wanted to suggest a couple experiences I have witnessed. This comment is by no means formal and I want to apologize for that. This is a simple example of my personal experiences as an individual installing commercial wireless network. I want to express concerns and exposure experiences about 4G/5G wide band equipment in close proximity. Personally I dread when an issue happens involving starlink antenna systems. As an installer a latency test must be performed for best antenna alignment in general. This pertains to Starlink WAN antennas and cellular omni systems. My personal exposure to these systems is weekly. As i primarily operate vhf systems below 50 watts. Now with some context I just want to offer my exposure experiences. Wide band antenna systems with diversity antennas are a moderate concern personally. It is very common to experience short term memory loss for 5G in my experience personally. Almost brain fog as working and alignment of wide antennas. Another type of exposure I have personally involves smart meter RF in close proximity to where I sleep. It is very common to have an insomnia feeling as the smart meter is 6’ away on the outside wall from my bedroom pillow. We are unable to opt out of smart meter living in rural Pennsylvania. The reason for this comment is with the new satellite spectrum licensing proposed by the FCC happening. As a commercial installer it is very common to align starlink antennas for best latency testing. In doing so I personally have had my face near this equipment and I can say I have received a microwave effect to my head. This feeling is not so much warm but once you feel it you will avoid it at all costs. It causes instant discomfort and specifically to the crown of my skull. I really appreciate this agency opening for public comment. I think the ultra wide band measures taken by the FCC may be misconstrued by SPCX valuations. Personally this is a warning to anyone reading this never hold one of these 2 devices to your head. Regards FCC Registration Number: obtained
